Henry IV pt I by Herring (4.00 / 3) #1 Sat May 10, 2008 at 10:13:09 AM EST

I did that for O Level (yes, I am that old) - but I wont give away the ending. Still quite like it. Must see the sequel sometime.

Makes me wonder how the modern media would take it today - the Hal character going from clubbing drunkard to Henry V. Maybe we shall find out in a few years. Also, I think it's about time we had another war against the French.

I'm hoping Boris Johnson can do a Prince Hal by TheophileEscargot (4.00 / 1) #2 Sat May 10, 2008 at 10:58:39 AM EST

I think the media are happy with a transformation like that at first. But they get bored pretty quickly and will have to turn Henry V into Richard III or someone later on.

We tried that by ucblockhead (4.00 / 2) #3 Sat May 10, 2008 at 11:00:20 AM EST

We tried that here in the US but in our version, the clubbing drunkard turned into a bumbling incompetent.
